What About Megapixels?


One of the things I hear most often is that you should buy a digital camera with more megapiksela.Ideja seems that if the camera has more megapixels then it must be better than those with less. In my classes, and a digital photo of the seminar, someone always asks: "How many megapixels NEED ?"

Here's my answer:-megapixel digital camera rating defines the "approximate maximum print size" camera is capable of. Nothing more. There is no direct correlation between ratings and quality megapixel cameras. And the picture quality will take you far more dependent on other factors, such as lens quality, using the appropriate settings, and your ability to handle a camera properly.

Most of us do not need 8 or 10 ... or even 6 ... megapixel cameras to get the shots we want. 4 megapixel camera is perfectly capable of delivering files that are easy to print up to 8x10 inches. How often are you likely to need more than that?

So, my recommendation is simple: buy a camera that fits your budget and has the features you want, and do not worry too much about megapixels. Almost any camera you buy these days will be more than enough.

Do you want to be able to increase close? Look for greater zoom range. There are several cameras out there today that are called "Super agreements" with the zoom range of 10x or 12x or more. (Make sure you are talking about the "optical" zoom range, and not "Digital" zoom range. Why? Because the "digital zoom" the camera is an electronic trick that does nothing more than stretch each pixel to make it look like you 're zoom closer. not. and the picture quality deteriorates very quickly when you use this method .)

famous camera manufacturers know how to make high-quality lenses, using quality glass. So, less distortion, crisper images, better color. So it is always wise to buy a brand name you can trust. (And if you buy a D-SLR with a "kit" lens, it's a good idea to make sure you're getting a lens that has a camera manufacturer's name but "house brand .")

and shoot with both Nikon and Canon cameras. My Nikon is a professional quality digital SLR. My Canon's 6 megapixel "Super Compact" with a 12x zoom. My wife shoots a 4 megapixel Kodak. They are all jobs they are best suited for.

So the point is: "Do not worry too much about megapixels

This is is far more important to pay attention to the subject in front of you . After all, this is a picture that is important. No matter what camera you use, enjoy the process of collecting memories. That's what it's all about.
